In addition to working with a range of adult, adolescent and child clients, I specialize in guiding parents of children challenged by chronic illness, medical trauma or developmental issues toward the outcome of post-traumatic growth rather than post-traumatic stress. My research, presented at three conferences of the American Psychological Association, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and others, helps to show that parents who take care of themselves create better social and health outcomes for their challenged children. I am licensed psychologist candidate, editor of the APA Div 39 monthly publication, and editor of the APA Div 39 blog at PsychologyToday.com. EMDR Certified. Former teacher. Former Outward Bound guide. Frequent school consultant.

Throughout 12 years of practice, my goal has been to facilitate self-discovery, healing and growth for individuals, couples, families and larger groups by making them aware of emotional barriers that can prevent them from creating the life they desire.

My specialties include grief and loss due to death or divorce, as well as new parenting issues and post-partum depression.

Change is difficult, yet it can also lead to an incredible journey full of surprises. Often, my clients discover a wealth of information about themselves and their families along the way.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, working with individuals, couples, young adults, children and families.

As an experiential and mindfulness-based psychotherapist, I am passionate about helping clients grow. Through collaboration, we can get you unstuck. I believe healing comes about through a combination of empathy, authentic relationship, vulnerability, new insights, and practice.

I leverage experiential techniques, acceptance and commitment therapy, and humor to help clients with transformation. My areas of particular interest and specialization include working with men's issues, shame, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and loss issues, and self-actualization.
